Regardless of the outcome of your case, a criminal charge will stay on your record. If you were arrested and the charges were dismissed, you will still have an arrest record. Obtaining an expungement means that almost all your records will be erased and destroyed. It is available for every case in which the charges were dismissed. If you were convicted, it is still available for certain crimes.

If a juvenile case is closed and you retain a clean record for five years or more, you are eligible for an expungement. However, you need to make sure you file all the necessary paperwork in the right fashion. I can assess whether or not your criminal record can be expunged. After reviewing your case, I will help you evaluate your options, so you do not waste your money.
